发帖数: 1621 | 1 Sigh, say what you want about ftp. I can totally understand because ppl
stuck big money in it.
But ftp did no wrong to me. Granted I have $1.7k (a very small amount
compared to some ppl on this board) in it as well, but since Aug, 2010, Ftp
hasn't charged me a dime for deposit and always handle my withdraw quickly.
At the time, I was doing the silly business: deposit $100, run it up until $
1000+ and then cash out. Then deposit $100 again and start over. If my $100
got busted, I deposit another $100. I was doing it just because I found
myself playing much more cautiously when my bankroll was small. My online
poker result was improving and I cash out way more than the time I have to
re-deposit. It looked silly at the time, but it totally saved me during the
black friday.
The 1.7k is the result of a heater in just a week, I deposited the $100 and
haven't gotten the chance to cash out and then boom, black Friday happened.
But I have no complaint, because my investment was minimum.
I did a closet cleaning yesterday, and found a whole box of full tilt stuffs
I bought using ftp points. I thought I used majority of the points before
BF. The stuffs included two 32g 3rd Gen iTouch, 8 golf umbrallas, bounch of
playing cards, and numerous small stuffs.
Ftp always served me quickly, the withdraw ususally won't exceed over one
week with multiple email notifications, and the merchidise I bought using
ftp points will always come within 3 weeks. If there was a mistake on their
end, like the server down or sth, they gave you double the points or money.
Such a good customer services is hard to find even among reputable retailer
nowadays.
I am saying this because I was playing at Lock poker recently. Had some luck
a win a little bit. But when I tried to cash out, it was such tough
business. You stuck in no mans land. I submitted withdraw in July and until
now I didn't receive approval. Send numrous email there and no response.
Thanks god, I don't making living playing online poker. How any pro can
survive when the cash out process is so hard and customer service is so poor
. It smell like a scam actually.
F**k DOJ as well. It is so rediculous, nowadays Casinos in US are almost as
many as
restaurants, and they are banning Online Poker? WTF! Probably the only
country in the world doing it. Nonsense. | f*****g

发帖数: 4896 | 3 The reason FTP treat customer so well is that they were doing bad business
and cross the line of DOJ. They steal money from other players and pay you
quickly.
If a company want to do a long time business in US under current situation,
a long waiting time for cash out is well expected.

发帖数: 15860 | 4 hehe, got home last night and didn't get a chance to sit down and type...
was thinking about starting a looooong series about FTP and me, but then
felt like it could be as boring as 3425670 words long.
compared to others who suffered and are still suffering from the FTP
crackdown, i'm shameless because i quit online poker right before BF, and
actually owe FTP some money (they never took my small deposits for the last
6 months) but let me cash out all my $$.
i played on multiple sites before, well, for most of them, only for fun, and
i actually spent 90% of time on FTP for about 3 years. i like their UI and
creative ideas, rush/multi-entry/promotions/etc.
their ironman program was so addictive and got me hooked every month. it's
much more achievable than PS elite program.
i still remember the first time i met you in 2009, and how much you
condemned and hated online poker, haha. KKRUN was there too and he was quite
successful on FTP around that time, took down multiple tourneys in a short
period for like $20K.
pokeryjj and melonli were very active back then too. it's quite an after-
dinner entertaiment to watch them play.
thirtystand, come out, you're a star too...
then mm laosi and her journey from 10NL or $5 tourney?
then finally there came fcf, his unbelievable monthly winning chart made my
jaw drop, HOLY ****! he fired N HU cash tables and was waiting there like a
true fishman.... the next thing you know, some newbie sit down, and
lost xK in less than x minutes.
well, that's actually peanuts, because at the next table, gus hanson just
lost yet another $500K to someone, durrrr, UrInDanger, OMGClayAiken .......
oh, FTP, too many dramas.

发帖数: 528 | 5 I never really liked FTP software much. Preferred Stars and PartyPoker. I
can't quite describe it. It felt too cartoon-y.
I got lucky and unlucky in the FTP black friday fiasco. Lucky that I just
swapped PS and FTP funds with someone the week before, and he decided to
give me cash instead of sending me FTP.
Unlucky in the sense that because I had a good RB deal on FTP, I never spent
a single FTP Point (eats into RB accumulation rate). Depending on how the
FTP points gets worked out in this PS-buy-FTP thing, maybe I'll get
something out of it.
For reference when PartyPoker went down I got something like 27 ipods, 3
sets of the nice clay chipsets, 3-4 packs of extra chips, 20 packs of
partypoker playing cards, almost every single book from their bookstore, and
misc other stuff. | W********m
发帖数: 7793 | 6 The biggest loss for me from FTP is that I lost most of my interest and all
of my drive to play poker, which might never come back fully ever. It takes
a lot of hard work and determination to be good at poker. I have lost them
all. The loss of partial bankroll and a good hourly rate at BF is nothing
compare to these. | f*****g

发帖数: 528 | 8 I just really loved poker. I mean I still do, but back then it was a strong
passion. Live poker, breath poker, dream about poker.
Friends come over on weekends say hey let's go downtown. Let's hit up a
club. My answer is usually "must grind. can't leave"
And LHE generates rake very fast. When you play 10+ tables at once, it's a
lot of rake, so a lot of points. | f*****g

发帖数: 1621 | 14 The last couple days it was a storm in my area.
I went out with Full Tilt unmbralla. Usually I have those cheap unmbralla
made from country factory in China which can only be used once and then
broken. The quality of Full Tilt unmbralla was really good and I use them
during big storm!
Downside is : there are two big logos saying "Full Tilt Poker" on top of the
umbralla, so everyone knows I am a big gambler. LOL. | f*****g
发帖数: 15860 | 15 俺本来攒了很多点，准备等RB清空了以后，撤退前买几台LCD电视，搬家以后用的。
后来据说送货慢，而且型号相对较老，2年前的model，就做罢了，全换成tourney门票
了，反正tourney的RB就几乎没有。
